The others are right: only Uriel was in Dean's dream, not Alistair. I'm surprised it wasn't Castiel, but the boys knew that the angels were definitely looking for them. If they hadn't done the dream thing, I suspect Dean would have 'allowed' Castiel and Uriel to 'find' him just as Ruby allowed Alistair to find her. I'm not really surprised that Dean knew it was a dream: they've done 'dream walking' before and I think Castiel approached him in a dream (the whole 'back to the future' thing seemed to be a dream to me. Uriel tells Dean that they can do without him, so I'm not sure if he is lying or if indeed Dean isn't that special. I think there is 'something' about him that God saw as necessary for the fight, but it is hard to say what exactly that is: his leadership skills, his knowledge of demons or his relationship with Sam, or something else totally.
